NOTES

*1. Do not lower flaps to LDG until landing is assured. Because

drag will increase dramatically once landing flaps have been

lowered, attempt to utilize LDG flaps more as means to shorten

landing roll and less as a means to manage energy in the ELP.

2. At low key, do not lower the flaps if below profile. If engine

power is available (PEL), add power to maximum allowable per

emergency procedure, regain profile, and select flaps to TO. If

without power, continue on the ELP, modify ground track if

required, regain profile, and select flaps as required.

SIMULATED POWER LOSS

The instructor, reducing power to idle, will initiate the simulated power loss above 3000 feet

AGL and state, "You have a simulated power loss." This may occur at any airspeed and

configuration. Fly to intercept the ELP profile while simultaneously executing the appropriate

procedures.

Review the NATOPS, Section III, Engine Failure During Flight discussion. Pay close attention

to engine failure indications and aircraft zoom capability. At the instructor'discretion,

simulated power losses can lead you to a number of different emergency scenarios, such as

Engine Failure in Flight, Uncommanded Propeller Feather, Uncommanded Power Changes/Loss

of Power, Compressor Stall, etc. The simulated resolution of the scenario may come in the form
